Are You Irish?

“Can I have some Irish Sausages, please?" asked the Irishman, walking up to the counter. The assistant looked at him and asked: "Are you Irish?"“If I had asked you for Italian sausage, would you ask me if I was Italian?" demanded the Irishman indignantly."Or, if I asked for German Bratwurst, would you ask me if I was German?"Then, warming to his theme, he went on: "Or if I asked you for a Kosher hot dog, would you ask me if I was Jewish? "Or, if I asked you for a taco, would you ask me if I was Mexican? Would Ya? Would Ya?"The assistant said: "Well no."Suitably encouraged by the success of his logic, the Irishman steps it up a gear. "And if I asked you for frogs legs, would you ask me if I was French?" "What about Danish Bacon, would you ask me if I was Danish?""Well no, I probably wouldn't," conceded the assistant.So, now bursting with righteous indignation, the Irishman says, "Well, all right then, why did you ask me if I'm Irish just because I asked for Irish sausages?"The assistant replied: "Because you're in Home Depot!!"
